Wielding the title as the oldest shoe and boot maker in New England, Alden is best known for its exquisite craftsmanship and incomparable leather products. The Massachusetts-based footwear company partnered with J.Crew, and the two brands have created a beautiful range of wing tip Oxfords. We particularly love these Tobacco Longwing Bluchers because of their classic shape, bright pop of color, and versatility. Dress them up with a button-up and khaki slacks or simply pair them with blue jeans and a T-shirt -- the possibilities are endless! A timeless classic, and definitely worth the investment.
Waxed Longwing Bluchers by Alden for J.Crew, $555. Available at JCrew.com.
